Chapter 655: Sending troops

A soldier named Liaodong Army fell under the boulder and bed crossbow, and the defenders of the city gradually recovered from their initial fear, and the tragic situation of the enemy army gradually raised the morale of the newly recruited soldiers.

"If the enemy attacks the city, when they are halfway up, throw the stones down, and keep them crying for their fathers and mothers, and even bring the soldiers below to be unlucky." A veteran takes the opportunity to pass on his experience to the recruits around him.

The recruits kept nodding, and although the hand holding the spear was still a little trembling, the gaze at the enemy outside the city became more and more determined.

"Before the enemy army goes to the city, you must protect yourself, and rest your head on the city wall as much as possible, after the enemy climbs the city wall, there will be a short pause, just stab the spear in your hand." The veteran patted the soldier on the shoulder.

With the greeting of bed crossbows and thunderbolts, after half a day's siege, the number of losses of the Liaodong army reached 500 people, but the soil bags that were filled into the moat were very few, and from a distance, the moat still rippled in the breeze.

Gongsun Kang gave the order to retreat with a gloomy face, and the news from the scouts was that in the east and north of the city, there were no thunderbolts and bed crossbows at all.

Xu Yu learned that there are thunderbolts and bed crossbows in the city, and he secretly said that it was not good, in the battle of Dangyin, the Jizhou army did not suffer a loss on the thunderbolt and bed crossbows, and the bed crossbow and thunderbolt of the state army not only have a long range, but also extremely accurate, he did not expect that Lu Bu would arrange the bed crossbow and the thunderbolt in the right Beiping City, you must know that the thunderbolt and the bed crossbow are sharp weapons to defend the city, and the bed crossbow and the thunderbolt are also hidden and tucked in Jizhou, lest they leak out, is Lu Bu not afraid that Tian Yu has different intentions? Tian Yu was a general under Gongsun Zan before.

"My lord, the Liaodong Army in the south of the city is a miserable one, and it lost hundreds of people without even approaching the city wall." Chen Shi said excitedly.

Tian Yu nodded slightly, put fifty thunderbolts and thirty bed crossbows in one place, if you can't repel the enemy, it will be a strange thing, even if the Liaodong army is strong, it can't even get close to the moat, how to attack the city.

As long as the number of thunderbolts and bed crossbows was sufficient, Tian Yu was confident that it would be difficult for the enemy to fill the moat.

However, there are 40,000 enemy troops outside the city after all, and at this time there is not much grain and grass in the city, only enough for the needs of the army in January, this is also the season close to harvest, as long as you wait until the grain and grass of Youbeiping is harvested, you can relieve the pressure on the grain and grass, but at this time the enemy army is besieging the city, will you give Youbeiping time to deal with it.

Jinyang, and the state governor's mansion, Lu Bu read the battle report from Youzhou with a gloomy face, and handed it to Jia Xu on the side.

"Lord, the Wuhuan people are united with Yan Rou again, and the Liaodong Army dispatched 20,000 elites, judging from their subordinates, someone must have made a match." Jia Xu said: "Badun and Yan Rou are not in harmony, the two sides are fighting, Gongsun Du of Liaodong has no quarrel with Youzhou, but he dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses, it seems that Gongsun Du wants to seize Youzhou County." ”

Lu Bu slapped the table heavily and snorted coldly: "It seems that Badun and Yan Rou have forgotten the strength of the state army. ”

Originally, according to Lu Bu's assumption, the first to move troops was the Xianbei people, and secretly ordered the Wuhuan people to attack the Xianbei people, as long as the Xianbei people were cleaned up, it was not easy to clean up the Wuhuan people, but I didn't expect a Liaodong army to pop out in the middle.

"How much do you know about the Liaodong Army?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.

"Lord, Liaodong Gongsun Du is recommended by Xu Rong as Liaodong Taishou, after dominating Liaodong, Gongsun Du set himself up as the king, did not obey the orders of the imperial court, although Gongsun Du is dying, but his son Gongsun Kang is brave and strategic, quite loved by the generals and soldiers in the army, the Liaodong Army has about 40,000 people, this time dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack the right Beiping, it is expected that Gongsun Du is not willing to be lonely, and wants to get a piece of the pie in Youzhou."

Lu Bu sneered: "If you are so old and want to raise troops, aren't you afraid that you will have your life and enjoy your life, it seems that the Gongsun family has been in Liaodong for too long, and I don't know how powerful the soldiers under the command of Benhou are." ”

"My lord, the Gongsun family of Liaodong has always been friendly with Jizhou, this time the Liaodong Army went to fight Youzhou, there must be Jizhou behind it, otherwise Yan Rou and Wuhuan people would not be united in one place, it is said that Gongsun Xu fled to the army outside the city after the failure of the rebellion in Youbeiping." Jia Xu said.

"Right Beiping, Benhou will take Wuhuan and Liaodong to attack, let Yuan Shao understand that no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, in the face of absolute force, it will be in vain."

"Pass on the order of the Marquis, let Zhang Liao rush to Jinyang after receiving the order, and the defenders of Hedong in Hanoi must not slack off." Lu Budao said that Youzhou is not enough to be a fierce general, which is not conducive to rule.

"Lord, General Zhao is brave and strategic, he is a unique general, as long as General Zhao Yun is sent to lead 3,000 cavalry to aid Youzhou, Youzhou will be worry-free." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Wenhe's meaning, Ben Hou understands, the war starts, how can Ben Hou sit idly by, after the matter of Youzhou is calmed down, Ben Hou leads the troops and horses from Youzhou to attack Xianbei, Wen He ordered Zilong to lead the flying cavalry to attack Xianbei out of Yanmen Pass, and the military division is in the middle of the dispatch, this time, it is not just as simple as pacifying Youzhou, what Ben Hou wants is a stable Youzhou and Merge State, otherwise how to compete with the princes of the Central Plains." ”

"The lord is not traveling with flying cavalry horses?" Jia Xu exclaimed, Lu Bu personally went to battle, he was mentally prepared, and what Fang Cai said was also to dispel Lu Bu's idea of personal conquest, it turned out that the flying cavalry was the most powerful soldier and horse in Bingzhou, and the reason why the wolf cavalry was slightly weaker was also because it was inferior to the flying cavalry in terms of blades, and the scimitars of the flying cavalry were all made of 100 steel.

Lu Bu nodded and said: "The elite of the flying cavalry is reserved for his future raid on Xianbei, and the archers under the command of Han Sheng have a lot of training time, and they need to go through the test of the battlefield in order to become a real elite." ”

Jia Xu said: "The first to die in Jizhou, brave and good at fighting, the lord can take General Gao's camp on this trip." ”

"Order Gao Shun to lead the trapping camp, escort the grain and grass, and go to Jixian County first." Lu Budao, competing with the Jizhou army and the Wuhuan people, will inevitably use thunderbolts and bed crossbows, these two things are surprisingly successful.

"Whoa." Jia Xu arched his hand, the soldiers who trapped the camp escorted the grain and grass baggage, and also ensured that the grain and grass baggage were foolproof, but the camp was an elite soldier who would not retreat in the face of the cavalry, and it was the strongest team in the state infantry battle, and Gao Shun was calm.

After arranging the relevant matters, Lu Bu returned to the Hou Mansion, he just fought last year, and he didn't want to go to Youzhou half a year later, and this battle was also a stable battle under his rule, if he could clean up the Wuhuan people and Yan Rou and Liaodong, it would play a vital role in the future situation, and Liaodong would belong to Youzhou.
